Yesterday\u2019s convoctition will certainly go down in the annals of] Bishop\u2019s University as one of the outstanding events in the long history of this great seat of learning, which this year is observing the completion of the eighty-ninth year of the college and the seventy-ninth year of the university.The distinguished guests who attended yesterday\u2019s impressive ceremony included, apart from Their Excellencies the Earl and Countess of Bessborough, four outstanding men of the day upon whom the University conferred the degree of Doctor of Civil Laws, honoris causa.These were the Right Hon.R.B.Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada; Hon.Athanase David, Provincial Secretary of Quebec; Aime Geoffrion, K.C., prominent member of the bar of the Province of Quebec, and Rev.Canon A.P.Gower-Rees, rector of St.George\u2019s Anglican Church, Montreal.Others who honored the occasion by their presence included the Lord Bishop of Montreal; the Lord Bishop of Quebec; E.W.Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway; Grant Hall, vice-president of the C.P.R.; Chief Justice R.A.E.Greenshields, Hon.Senator C.C.Ballantyne, Montreal; Hon.Senator Rufus Pope, Cookshire; G.11.Montgomery, K.C.; Sir Montagu Allan; Dr.Percival, Director of Education for the Province of Quebec; Dr.Chipman, Montreal; Prof.Clarke, Queen\u2019s University; Canon G.Abbott-Smith, Hon.Walter G.Mitchell, Mr.Justice C.D.White, Hon.Jacob Nicol, Janies Mackinnon, D.C.L., G.M.Stearnes, D.C.L., J.P.Wells, D.C.L., C.B.Howard, M.P., and Lieut.-Col.Clarke-Kennedy, V.C.Her Excellency the Countess of Bessborough, accompanied by Mrs.A.H.McGreer, wife of the Principal, occupied a special seat in front of the large gathering of friends, former students and graduates of the University who had returned to rejoice with their Alma Mater at the completion of another successful year and to take part in the impressive ceremonies of the day.The weather was ideal throughout the day and a very interesting programme was arranged, beginning with a celebration of Holy Communion in the College Chapel at eight o\u2019clock in the morning, and ending with a pleasing garden party at which the Principal and Mrs.McGreer received the large number of guests.The Convocation service was held in the chapel at eleven o\u2019clock and was attended by Their Excellencies.The special Convocation preacher was Rev.Canon Gower-Rees.Canon Gower-Rees dealt with the duty of the University during the present economic crisis, placing special stress upon its place in the fields of education and religion.The Lord Bishops of Montreal and Quebec officiated at the service, assisted by othei^ members of the clergy.Following the service, luncheon was served in the college dining room, and in the afternoon, just prior to the Convocation ceremony, His Excellency inspected the cadet corps, which was in position upon the green plot directly in front of the University.Again this year the actual conferring of degrees was'held in the open.A large platform had been erected at one end of the large green lawn.Seated upon the platform with the Chancellor, F.E.Meredith, K.C., D.C.L., was the Governor-General, the Lord Bishops, the Principal, Rev.A.H.McGreer, O.B.E., M.C., M.A., D.D., Professor E.E.Boothroyd, 5I.A., D.C.L., vice-principal, the honored guests, members of Corporation and the faculty.The Harmony Band of Sherbrooke was in attendance duïing the afternoon and assisted ably in the programme.In declaring the Convocation open and extending a cordial welcome to Their Excellencies and the other distinguished guests whose presence added dignity and prestige to the occasion, the Chancellor of the University in his address said: Minister of Roads Promises to Take Action to Facilitate' Traffic Between Sherbrooke and Granby\u2014Improve Mcnt-real-Toronto Highway.Montreal, June 17.\u2014T! Provincial Roads Department will make every effort to arrange a suitable detour between Sherbrooke and Granby on the Montreal-Sherbrooke highway, Hon.J.E.Perrault told a delegation that waited on him at the local government offices.The delegation, sponsored by the Royal Automobile Club, spoke for the hundreds of motorists who use this route constantly.Many complaints have been received during the past few weeks that the authorities tn charge of the work on the Magog-Granby section have made no effort to assist motorists to pass through the long stretch under repair, and as the work will probably last two seasons more, the club was asked to intercede for them.The delegation visited Mr.Perrault, and when the complaints were laid before him, the minister promised that he would look into the matter immediately and would do his best to arrange some route which could be used as a detour.Announcement was also made that the contract had been signed for the widening and raising of the seven miles of highway between the Ontario border and Coteau Landing.This highway, which links Montreal and Toronto, will become one of the finest in the province.Plans are also under study for a road between Vaudreuil and Cedars Rapids, improvement of which will benefit interprovineial traffic.¦ \u201cProbably the most important contract awarded this season in the interest of tourist traffic was signed by me this afternoon,\u2019\u2019 announced Mr.Perrault.\u201cAt a cost of Çd'OOjOOO a section of seven miles and a quarter of the Montreal-Toronto highway which was not up to the standard will be perfected so as to be up to the Ontario part and this from the Ontario border to Coteau Landing.Work is to be started immediately and should be completed this fall.The pavement which will te laid is called asphaltic concrete and will, give a width to the Quebec section similar to that of Ontario.This section is located along Lake St.Francis, a point which is rather affected by swamps and will transform it into one of the tinest portions of our highway system.\u201d New York, June 17.\u2014The Canadian dollar was steady at the opening on local foreign currency ex- ness developed in sterling, the pound sagging 1 1-8 cents to $3.64 in United States funds.The dollar was quoted unchanged at 86 5-16 cents.y\" r:v-v MALICIOUS ARSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOREST FIRES Quebec, June 17.\u2014Charging that unscrupulous people were setting fires to secure employ- | ment combatting them, Henri | Kieffer, director of the pro- j vincial forestry service, stated I yesterday .that incend'ansm 1 was responsible for many of I the forest fires now burning | in the northern part of Que- !

believe, to all the University\u2019s graduates and friends.The attendance of students now is as large as we can allow it to be until more residences and lecture rooms are available.The faculty has been increased and is now adequate for cur present enrolment.Furthermore, the circle of the University's loyal supporters has been enlarged, and its endowments materially increased.The position of the University to-day is, therefore, a strong one.But wc must remember that where there is life there must be (Continued on Page 2) CERTAIN DOMINIONS TAKE TARIFF POLICIES TOO FAR, SAYS BALDWIN Protection in Some Dominions Has Reached a Point Where It Is Harmful to Themselves and the Empire, Declares Acting Prime Minister in Debate in British House of Commons\u2014Mr.Thomas Hints at Plan for Daily Contact Between Dominions.a.m.At the time nearly a hundred men were working in and about the vessel, besides a crew of some ] find our way out in the darkness.\u20191 thirty\tmen\tsleeping in the\tfore-\t!\tAt nine o\u2019clock in the morning part of the\ttanker.\tj\tpreparations were being made by Members of the crew, it is be- ' divers to seek the body of Chief lieved, escaped with injuries.An ] Gauthier, believed to be in the wa-unestimated number of workmen I ter between the wharf and the were, however, killed.\t| drydock.A little over an hour later, while j So hot were the ship\u2019s plates firemen were pouring water on the j that firemen were unable to get fierce\tblaze, a second\tblast,\teven\t]\tinto the vessel to seek bodies of worse\tthan\tthe first,\ttook\tplace.\t!\tthe missing workmen.The fire In the last explosion.Fire Chief i was under control at that hour, Raoul Gauthier, of the Montreal fire j but it was thought some time must department, celebrated for his un- j elapse before the steel had cooled flinching courage, was killed with .sufficiently to enable an exhaustive four of his men.He was leading in | search to be made, tlie search for the dead and injured j Besides the oil in the ship\u2019s when the blast threw them into the , tanks> a quantity of oil was sto.- flames.ed on the side of the dock for load- London, June 17.\u2014Stanley Baldwin\u2019s unmistakable declarations that some of the Dominions\u2014he did not specify which\u2014have pushed tariff protection further than was helpful to themselves or the Empire at large; and J.H.Thomas\u2019 reference to establishing machinery that would keep the Empire Governments in \u201cdaily contact\u201d were the points emerging from the long debate in the House of Commons yesterday on the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa.Mr.Baldwin, Lord President of the Council, who is acting Prime Minister in the absence of Mr.MacDonald at Geneva, spoke later in the evening, and the tone of his remarks left no doubt in the minds of the members that he intended to head the delegation to Ottawa himself.Great Britain had framed her new Import Duties Act especially with the view of leading up to the Imperial Conference, Mr.Baldwin said.She had followed the principle of free trade within the Empire, and that was the spirit in which she was approaching the conference.\u201cThe Dominions today enjoy free entry absolutely for those entries which are taxed if they conic from foreign countries,\u201d he pointed out.\u201cLet the Dominions not for a moment think we are not grateful for the preferences they have granted us when they had no reciprocity,\u201d Mr.Baldwin said.\u201cBut let them also not fail to realize what a tremendous thing free entry is.\u201d He also pointed out the Empire exemptions under the Import Duties Act lapse automatically November 15.After citing the United States as an example of the distress and disaster that followed efforts to exclude other countries\u2019 goods, Mr.Baldwin declared the Empire wras singularly free from the most damaging firms of trade restrictions.But there was a marked tendency in recent years for heightening the barriers in the Dominions, both against each other and against the Mother Country.Mr.Thomas was not very specific about the plan for keeping the governments in \u201cdaily contact.\u201d He declared, however , \u201cthe United Kingdom Government will advocate the establishment of machinery representing the Dominions that will keep them in daily contact without having to wait three years for Imperial Conferences.Such a body is necessary in view of the changed world conditions and the changed relationships between members of the British Commonsvealth.\u201d The dead are: Fire Chief Gauthier, i .\t.,\t,\t,\t, four firemen, Paul Henrichon, J.!

their work at the St.Vincent dc Paul Hospital, twelve young ladies today stood on the threshold of the future, ready to embark on their errand of mercy\u2014to alleviate the pain and distress of suffering humanity.Yesterday afternoon in the presence of the Vicar-General of the diocese, Mgr.Emile Vincent, members of the clergy and medical profession, the reverend sisters under whose care and teaching they had spent the past few years, proud parents, relatives and friends, these young graduates received their parchments and the dream started when they entered to become nurses was fully realized.To the already-numerous and noted alumni of the local Catholic institution were added the Misses Jeanne Lacerte, of Thetford Mines; Yvonne Lord, Lea Simard, Yvette Simard and Jeanette Leduc, of Grand\u2019Mere; Albertine Cote, of St.Joseph d\u2019Alma; Emeline Lamoureux, of Magog; Marie-Ange Dumont, of Cookshire; Aline Boisvert, of Nico-let; Alice Robin, of Granby; Marie-Antoinette Beaildoin, of East Angus, and Alice Corbeil, of Ste.Rosalie.The graduation exercises were held in the hospital auditorium yesterday afternoon, the impressive ceremony being concluded with solemn benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the hospital chapel.This week was an epoch-making chapter in the history of St.Vincent de Paul Hospital.On Wednesday the institution w-as honored by the visit of Her Excellency, the Countess of Bessborough, while the distinguished gathering which attended yesterday\u2019s function was a tangible expression of the interest taken by the many friends of the institution in the progress and development of the \u201cHospital on the Hill.\u201d Dr.F.A.Gadbois, president of the Sherbrooke Medical Bureau, opened the proceedings with an address of welcome to the Vicar-General, whom he thanked for taking such an active interest in and affording his patronage to various movements throughout the diocese.To the graduating class, Dr.Gadbois addressed a few fatherly words of advice, complimenting them on the success they had attained, assuring them that the hospital personnel was confident that they were worthy to join the legion of nurses already graduated, and, in the name of the reverend sisters, doctors and patients, wishing them the success they deserved.\t^ Mgr.Vincent then read the pledge, and in a united voice the twelve graduates promised to adhere to the precepts enunciated in the solemn oath.From the hands of Canon Larue, chaplain at the hospital, the young ladies received their diplomas, while Dr.Fred Bertrand made the presentation of the graduation pins.The valedictory was read by Miss Yvonne Lord, who, in the course of her remarks, commented on the happy days the graduates had spent at St.Vincent de Paul Hospital, thanked the sisters for their devoted and unselfish attention, and the doctors for their many favors, and promised to do everything to reflect honor and glory on their Alma Mater.\u201cYou have been called to perform a certain duty in social life,\u201d Mgr.Vincent told the graduates, \u201cwhich consists not only in healing the body but also in comforting the soul.Do your duty wholeheartedly, with a smile constantly on your lips, and when your duty has been accomplished you will receive the eternal jeward reserved for those whose lives are devoted to their fellow men.\u201d Mgr.Vincent, on behalf of Bishop Gagnon, whose illness prevented him from attending the ceremony, offered his word of congratulation and exhorted the graduates to remember the doctrines taught them by the DEATHS

they would experience during their career with the bitterness of their disappointments, and always live up to the solemn pledge they had taken.Drawing his inspiration from the bouquets of beautiful flowers received by the graduates, Rev.Father Dolor Biron, parish priest of St.Jean Baptiste, declared that the Lowers were symbols of a nurse\u2019s life.The beauty of the rose, Father Biron stated, hid the thorns which lurked beneath, but the purity and odor which the flower possessed could be likened to the tenderness» and care which a nurse should always demonstrate towards her patients.Dr.Eugene Lacerte, of Thetford Mines, father of Miss Jeanne Lacerte, one of the graduates, made a brief address in which he, on behalf of the parents gathered for the occasion, thanked tho reverend sisters and the members of the medical profession for the aid they had afforded the graduating class.From the auditorium the happy nurses, with their beautiful bouquets of yellow roses tied with the class colors, inarched to the chapel.On the altar they deposited their bouquets while Mgr.Vincent pronounced benediction.Later each individual nurse received her relatives and friends informally, when congratulations and wishes for future success were showered on them.Accompanying Mgr.Vincent were Rev.J* athers Larue, Napoleon Co-dere, Dolor Biron and Leon Marcotte and
